lyrics
Old friend now vengeful one
How alone you must die
Ain't a faint cold reason laid
Just afraid for the very last time
To comprehend the end
Can you elucidate?
Indifference can deceive us
Kindly take the strain
Religion! gonna make your bed
It ails you for the dreaming of the dead
Religion! Oughta make your bed
It'll raise you one more dream and we'll be dead
I can see the guiding light
Shone frail from the veil
All I seem to see is heaven
Descent to kill
Although i believe, I'll swear, I beg and plead
Sifting through this high
For the dying time
Religion! gonna make your bed
It ails you for the dreaming of the dead
Religion! gonna make your bed
It'll raise you one more dream and we'll be dead
Oughta be your innocence
Drawing a line in the sand
This church within tormentor
It's a lonely reside
All the pleasing disease has
You all enthralled inside
Oh can I decree?
This cage can set you free
And society could sleep
For these rewards unseen
Religion! gonna make your bed
It ails you for the dreaming of the dead
Religion! gonna make your bed
It ails you one more dream and we'll be dead
